The Chief Explains.

To the LIGHT:
In your comments In yesterdays paper
on the fire which occurred at 2 O'Clock
y. III. near the Sunset depot, you say,
that there was considerable delay in
giving the alarm, and when the fire de-
Dartment arrived, they could do no good
and the premises we're entirely Quilted.
Now in all fairness, what do you sup
pose would have been the result had the
fire department not came to the rescue
as promptly as they did? The block In
which the fire occurred is closely built
I'D OF houses and shanties OF the most
oOmbustsble nature, all frame, except
the Que In which the fire Origl-
mated, which was an iron clad.
This building was blown to pieces
by an evidently large quantity OF pow
der, 1.-THE shock being felt for many
blocks sround,) thereby giving the
flames full escape to ignite everything
within reach but not dollars worth
Of property was injured beyond that
building.
Ii ia very Encouraging and hui
initiating to men, who have worked for
nearly three hours on a chilly night,
most Of them drenched with water, who
feel and know that they have done their
fullest duty, that all this does not
amount to anything.
These reports go abroad and are read
by hundreds who take lively interest
in such matters, and who very naturally
must come to the conclusion, that the
fire department OF San Antonio must
certainly amount to very little.
take IL for granted, that no one oil
your paper. witnessed this fire from its
beginning or perhaps not at all and that
you must have been wrongly informed
Please publish these few remarks In
defense OF our Ire department and
greatly oblige. Yours truly,
g. A. DUERLER,
Chief of +. d.

HORRIBLE CoAL Orr ACCIDENT
A little before two o'clock .Wednes-
~ afternoon an accident occurred
the residence of Mr.. Harry Bick-
Y in Chambersburg, which will pro-
tbly result fatally. Last Friday
ir. Buckley engaged little Nellie
dcKenna, twelve year old daugh-
Ter Of Mr.. Frank McKenna, to come
to house to take charge of his little
baby. Yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Buckley asked Nellie to @ into the
kitchen and wash the dinner dishes
while she would attend to the baby.
Mrs. Buckley told Nellie she would
find warm water on the stove. On
the table in the kitchen was a lero-
senc can which Mrs. Buckley bad been
using short time before filling the
lamps. In few minutes she heard
noise similar to an explosion and
simultaneously with it the terrible
cries of the child. Rushing into the
kitchen Mrs. Buckley saw the room
enveloped in flames. The alarm was
given and neighbors from all direc-
tions rushed to the scene. As soon
as the flames had been extinguished
on the person of the little girl she
was carried into the house and from
there to her home on King street.
The child's cries were awful, being
distinctly heard for over a square.
AS she tossed on the bed pleading
tones for water were most pitiful.
Death put an end to her sufferings

AN OUTRAGE ON BUSINESS.

AN OUTRAGE ON BUSINESS.
We find the following in this issue
of the Statesman
"The public in general and the
members of Franklin Assembly 1918
X. of L., in particular, are hereby in
formed that c. F. Herring is not sell
ling Boots and Shoes made by
Knights of Labor, as advertised by
him"
BY order of Franklin Assembly 1918.
Now what has this assembly to do
with Mr.. Hcrring's private business!
Who made them guardians of either
purchaser or seller? What is the
law or the moral right under which
they act j.: Are they competitors of
Mr.. Herrings, or is some member in
the boot and shoe business and does
,Ae use the Knights of Labor to in
jure Mr.. Herring? This is an out
rage, and Mr.. Herring should either
bring suit against the assembly or
against the members, if it is not a
chartered concern. The business peo-
pie will not tamely submit to any
such process, and if there is to be
boycotting in Martinsburg the So
called knights will get their full
share Of the law properly applied.
The price paid for liberty was too
dear to have individual business
rights placed at the mercy of any
unauthorized secret organization.
No individual member Of even the
so-called assembly can afford to have
his business run by the organization.
Nor Will he submit to it. The most
reliable merchants, citizens and la
borers who belonged to this assem-
bly, one year ago, have ceased TO pay
their dues and quit afiliating, and
more will do 50. 1t becomes a species
of anarchiam when it interferes with
the private business affairs ofindiyid-
uals, and as such, no fair-minded
person can give it recognition. The
knights Of Labor should look after
the market value Of labor and leave
private business and politics out of
their assembly,
